Porta Ostiense

The Porta Ostiense, also known as the Porta San Paolo, is one of the southern gates of the Aurelian Walls, located in Rome, Italy.

History
Located just west of the Pyramid of Cestius along the Aurelian Walls, the gate had a similar history to the Porta Asinaria. In 549, the treason of the Isaurian garrison allowed Totila and his Ostrogoths to enter Rome and sack the city.
